Bottle, at Smak i Lom. It's an unclear pale yellow colored beer with a white head. The aroma is quite typically generic pale lager, with an added twist presumably from the birch shoots. Pale malts, hay, grass notes, some fruityness and a herbal touch. It's medium bodied and quite smooth on the palate, not very bitter or sweet. Fruity flavor, pear and juicy yellow apple, with some grass and herbal notes. A faint citrusy hint too. Medium length finish where the birch touch is easily identified. A refreshing one, interesting with the birch shoots, else pretty dull. 210730

500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. The glass fills completely by off-white foam. A deep golden to amber beer appears very slowly. Aroma of grain and dust, some unfresh notes, hints of sweat, only a hint of juniper branches. The flavour is better than the aroma, malty with a slight fruitiness, decent notes of juniper branches, very moderate bittering hops in the finish.

Flaska er innenfor best før med vel 2 mnd, men, den føles som den er over middagshøyden. Smaksmessig anonym og litt oksidering.

500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Moderately hazy golden to orange colour, small white head. Some yeast floaties in the glass. Yeasty and fruity aroma, notes of old jam. Fizzy and citric mouthfeel. Bland and grainy flavour, not good. No noticeable hops. Another poor beer from Lom, I am sorry to say.

500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Nearly clear deep golden to amber colour, small and thin white head. Aroma of juniper, hints of black crowberries, stale jam, caramel, wort and stale bread. Fizzy and citric mouthfeel. Medium dry and dull flavour, hints of the same elements as the aroma. The juniper and crowberries should have had the potential to make the beer more interesting, but there is too little of them, and too much of not-so-nice grainy and bready elements. Hops are on the ingredients list, but I cannot say they are noticeable. As a result, the beer is utterly forgettable, and I will not buy it again.
